To further strengthen the protection of migrant workers’ rights and enhance the Zero Recruitment Fee Policy, Giant Group has recently launched its Phase Three recruitment fee remedy program, with expanded coverage applying to eligible former migrant workers who left employment during the two years preceding the WRO effective date (September 24, 2025). This retrospective approach exceeds the scope commonly seen in international practices (for example, certain RBA-aligned practices often reference an approximate six-month retrospective period) and is consistent with CBP’s established scope in prior WRO cases. This reflects Giant Group’s continued commitment to deepening responsible recruitment practices and strengthening remedy mechanisms.
Since 2025, Giant Group has implemented the Zero Recruitment Fee Policy through a phased approach:
• Phase One: Effective January 1, 2025, the Zero Recruitment Fee principle was applied to newly hired migrant workers.
• Phase Two: In mid-October 2025, the policy was expanded to all current migrant workers, and related reimbursements were completed.
• Phase Three: Most recently, coverage has been further extended to eligible former migrant workers within the past two years, continuing to enhance remedy and corrective measures.
Giant Group has formally announced the Phase Three program on its official website and will also communicate through multiple channels, including local recruitment agencies in Thailand and Vietnam, Taiwanese business associations, employment service centers, and local media, to ensure eligible individuals can access information and submit applications. These efforts aim to improve accessibility and support effective implementation of the remedy mechanism.
Meanwhile, Giant Group’s broader Corrective Action Plan (CAP) continues to progress as planned. Related measures are being carried out in coordination with the verification process of an independent third-party audit organization, to ensure alignment with international standards and to address the expectations of relevant authorities.
Giant Group reiterates that it will uphold the principles of integrity, transparency, and concrete action, continue to fully support CBP’s review process, advance all corrective measures, and pursue the timely lifting of the WRO.
